Valley follows the loop of cyclical heartache on their latest single, ‘Bass Player’s Brother’

Valley’s upcoming album, Water The Flowers, Pray For A Garden, is out August 30.
Today, the three-piece alternative-pop band Valley, comprised of Rob Laska (lead vocals, guitar), Alex Dimauro (bass), and Karah James (vocals, drums), released ‘Bass Player’s Brother.’ The infectious, drum-driven track features dreamy synths and grooves, all the while telling the story of a toxic, ever-repeating relationship. The song drops on the heels of the singles ‘When You Know Someone’ and the album’s title track ‘Water The Flowers, Pray For A Garden,’ with the full album set to arrive on August 30 through Capitol Records/Universal Music Canada.
In the band’s words:
“‘Bass Player’s Brother’ is a song about cyclical love and obsession. In life we often find ourselves in realities that don’t suit our truth, yet we continue to drag ourselves back to the feeling of staying for love’s sake. It’s cyclical in nature yet rooted in heartache and hurt. It’s the back-and-forth outcome of these habits that cause us to stay when we know we should leave. This is the only song on the album where we didn’t reference real names. Sometimes we like to play characters in songs even though we’re always thinking about someone in our lives. We wanted to paint a picture of a classic Americana heartbreak love story.”
They continue:
“We wrote the song after getting stranded in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was a wild week. Mickey had just left the band, we didn’t sleep at all, we were in a city where we knew no one — it was the lowest point of the album-making process. Chase [Lawrence of COIN] ended up driving to meet us in Charlotte, we rented a house and just started writing. The song started with us giving up on writing one (as most good ones do). You can really hear us trying to have fun with this song (and dis-attach from what we were going through).”
‘Bass Player’s Brother’ is out now. Water The Flowers, Pray For A Garden the album is out August 30.
